Tragédie-lyrique, 1749 (1756). Erato 0927431822 (3 CDs 2003).
William Christie,
Les Arts
Florissants. Zoroastre: Mark Padmore, haute-contre; Amélite:
Gaëlle Méchaly, soprano; Abramane: Nathan Berg, bass; Erinice:
Anna Maria Panzarella, soprano; Zopire / La Vengeance: Mattheiu
Lécroart, bass; Céphie: Stéphanie Révidat, soprano; Narbanor:
François Bazola, bass; Oromasès / Ariman: Éric Martin Bonnet,
bass. Unfortunately, the original 1749 version remains
unrecorded. This is another recording of the 1756 version, as
revised by Rameau to appease critics. It is preferable in
virtually every respect to the 1983 Kuijken recording,
reflecting the tremendous advances in early music performance in
the intervening 20 years and indeed may be the finest Rameau
opera recording currently available. Highly recommended! (The
booklet enclosed with the dhm LP set included a facsimile of the
1756 libretto, so it might be worth checking used LP sources for
a copy even if you don't own an operable turntable.)

Piolino; Première Parque: Christopher Josey; Deuxième Parque:
Matthieu Lécroart; Troisième Parque: Bertrand Bontoux; Un
Chasseur: David Le Monnier. Rameau's original, 1733 version,
portions of which may never have been performed until now.
Overall, the performance is somewhat more satisfying than
Minkowski's, but technically the recording is much better.
While, in the words of Campra, "there is enough music in that
opera [Hippolyte] to make ten", my favorite is the air and
rondeau "Plaisirs, doux vainqueurs" for a follower of Cupid in
the Prologue, on this recording performed to near perfection by
Paul Agnew.

forward (actually backward) from the pioneering 1978 J.-C.

spoiled by a technically poor recording.

the expense of the originality of the original versions, some of
which are now being revived for the first time.

| Downing A. Thomas. Aesthetics of Opera in
the Ancien Régime: 1647-1785. Cambridge University Press.
320 pages. January 2003. "This is the first study to recognise
the broad impact of opera in early-modern French culture. The
author considers the use of operatic spectacle and music by
Louis XIV as a vehicle for absolutism; the resistance of music
to the aesthetic and political agendas of the time; and the
long-term development of opera in eighteenth-century humanist
culture. He argues that French opera moved away from the
politics of the absolute monarchy in which it originated to
address Enlightenment concerns with sensibility and feeling. The
book combines close readings of significant seventeenth-century
and eighteenth-century operatic works, circumstantial writings
and theoretical works on theatre and opera, together with a
measure of reception history. Thomas examines key works by Lully,
Rameau, and Charpentier, among others, and extends his reach
from the late seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth."
